TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Two Taiwanese men delivering food for Uber Eats by motorcycle were killed by a bus in Sydney, Australia, according to reports Thursday.
Camera footage showed the bus driver had been watching his smartphone and failed to brake to try and avoid the stationary motorcycle, the Apple Daily reported.
The two Taiwanese were identified as Bill Chen (陳廣偉), 28, and Hsu Su Po (許舒博), 32.
Chen and Hsu were on a scooter stationary on one side of the road when a bus driven by Luis Rojas, 49, hit them from behind, catapulting them into the other lane where they were killed by oncoming traffic, reports said. [FULL STORY]
